A single flathead catfish lies on a black plastic bag inside a white cooler, packed against ice. The fish has the mottled olive-brown, lightly blotched skin and broad flat head typical of the species, with a pale belly and a broad, slightly reddish tail. The photo was taken at night, and the uploader's description notes a 25 lb flathead from the Mississippi River in West Baton Rouge.
